... I finally am back at this
posted: Wed, Jun 16, 2004 12:00:00 AM
it is cold and rainy today.
So it goes.
so today i got a lesson in living up to some of the responsibilities that society imposes on me. silly little thing like paying my registration, paying traffic tickets, and being present as to the hour and place i am driving will relieve me of a overnight stay hosted by the county sheriff.
i am grateful that i can take care of those silly little things before they grow

So it goes.
i was awake early by another on of us who believed he was immune from the consequences of not taking care of bidness. imagine getting hauled off to jail for a failure to appear on a stupid traffic ticket. but wait it gets worse trying to beat the system by using plates from another car and month stickers to make it look like it is a registered and then driving around at 1:30 AM without using turn signals

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 1
2) Therefore when one is making the Tao his business, those who are
also pursuing it, agree with him in it, and those who are making the
manifestation of its course their object agree with him in that; while
even those who are failing in both these things agree with him where
they fail.
